I still have yet to win a seat to the WSOP.  It is getting frustrating, but I am not quite worried as of yet.  One thing I am getting concerned about is where I stand as far as reaching my yearly goals in poker.

I sit and look at my hourly rate in 5 card draw and think about how easy it will be to reach specific goals.  The only problem is the games are sparse.  So I can go a few days without anyone sitting down to play against me.  It is forcing me to do something, what I am not 100 percent sure of yet. 

I have mentioned that I want to add a new game to my arsenal.  The one game that might be something I get more into are these 5cd draw HU NL sit-n-gos.  I have played about 80  at this point in time and have averaged winning 2 out of every 3 that I play.  That is actually really good, but I feel I can do better.  I mean I am already winning 2 of 3, and still haven’t really perfected a strategy.  In these 80 sng’s I am not shying away from playing the better players either.  I am taking on all comers.  So it is not like I am only winning 66% of the time against a random fish who decided to try his luck in a new game.  I will admit though, I have run better than not in these sng’s thus far. 

If I am going to meet my yearly goal I need to sit back and look at the big picture.  It is really creeping up on “gotta do something now” territory.  This thought is just sitting in the back of my mind as I plug away at trying to win a seat to the WSOP.

The plan is for the next month to continue to try and win a WSOP seat or two which admittedly is taking away from my advancement in other games.  But if I win a few WSOP seats, it will all be worth it.  Then once July comes, this will be the half way point in the year.  I plan on MAKING myself play, and play a ton. 

I am thinking about creating a challenge kind of thing.  Something where I will log all my sessions here on this blog for all to see, and to show that winning a certain amount of money over a 6 month period can be done playing mostly 5 card draw.  If I hope to reach my goals on the year, I may just need that extra motivation.

Check back later to see where we go with this.
